My week has been very busy on the work front, and also on
the writing front. There is still too much to do but the manuscript is shaping
up nicely and I’m sure that by the end of July I will be where I want to be.
I’m awaiting feedback on a few samples and I’m hoping that
when that arrives it will have me going in the right direction. I’m keen to
polish and submit now.
This week we are looking at writing from the point of view
from different characters. Firstly set your scene. Choose from: living room –
corner shop – garden shed - art gallery. Then you are going to populate it with one or two
human characters. After that you are going to select one of the following to
tell the story from their point of view. Cat – Rat - Gold fish – Gecko. Think
about how the scene influences your story teller, are they just watching and
relaying the story, or are they in danger or being spoilt. Why not try each of
the story tellers in each scenario?
This challenge will help you see things differently. It
might be a good idea to get down and look from the same level as your chosen
story teller. Think about what they see, and how they interpret that.
So go on, get writing.
